Classified

I enjoyed this series so much! It was both a thriller, full of action and funny too. Just as afro beats exposes us to different music, Classified shows us Africa is so much more than what it was once believe to be according to the media. The acting was superb. Ella knows it all of course. Afterall, don't all teenagers. As if they could hear me, I found myself talking to the screen. The diversity of the characters are well represented in this series. Most are from famous or well to do families that play a major role in the storyline. My 19 year old grandson watched it with me. We want more! Well written and well acted. We are highly reccomending it to all of our family and friends.

This show is so unrealistic,some of the storylines were so stupid and unbelievable,the rest were the same recycled storylines and characters in most shows that involve a teen- a know it all,high school cliques,the new 'tokens',evil stepmother,boy drama.

It's the same story with a little spy stuff going on.

This show is very predictable and you will see most 'plot twists' coming.

The main character was miscast,she might be 4'11 in real life and all the other actors towered over her,it looked weird on film,next to the other actors she looked much younger than them.

Most of the acting was bad(except the step-mom and son Kwame). A few of the high school kids did well like Darla,and the 'richest kid' with the helicopter.

I'm an adult and I do watch some of these shows that are marketed to young people. I enjoy some of them. I think that people under 20 might like this show more that I did.

I still gave it 4 stars because it wasn't a bad idea,it was just badly executed and had too many outrageous,silly parts.

I got so excited as I normally do when I see a South African series or movie pop up. The movie is far from Nollywood, had great acting, normally great casting. But the main character did not fit this particular story, and the story was not well developed on screen. I had to keep watching in hopes of something better but no such thing . Hell bent on getting to Oakland but the realistic portions of it didn't make it on screen. The white friends acting didn't make it any better, the little brother is the only one that made it seem authentic, the running around selling bottles just too much and not enough to make it better.

I don't understand why they included a reenactment of Sarafina. The show could've been just fine without making a mockery of the suffering of the ppl of Soweto. People truly suffered by being tortured and killed for no reason other than the greed of the boars. Having the descendants of those who inflicted pain and suffering to the people portrait the roles of those who actually suffered is adding insult to injury. It's the equivalent of having white people acting as slaves in America. I would encourage everyone to watch the movie Sarafina to understand the atrocious nature of this show. So unnecessary!

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Actors as high schoolers were fantastic in the role. Interesting to see Mandelas Johannesburg today. Good to see such a slew of young actors doing a very credible job. View of a part of the world seldom seen by us captivating. Get prepared to binge watch! Recommend series who like attractive people along with a taut script. Brevity surpasses loquacious just for a number of characters. So devalues a review. But one can mumble along just to satisfy a rigid set of requirements. Only 84 more to go. Ah, well....whatever are they teaching reviewers today....such is the life.
